Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy Finale

The Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA, in its 11th season, produced intense racing as well as an increasing car count, averaging 33+ cars per event.

The GT3 Class features both the Porsche 997.2 (2010-2013) and 991.1 (2014-2016) versions of the 911 GT3 Cup cars. The GT4 Class features the Caymen GT4 Cup (2016-2017) cars. Both Classes compete on the track at the same time making for a large field and an exciting race. There are also five Championship classes; (GT3, 991) Diamond, Diamond Masters, (GT 3, 997) Platinum, (GT4) Silver, and Silver Masters.

As can be seen by the results no two drivers dominated their respective classes at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

2017 Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car Finale

Although Paul Holden had a posse of BMW M235iR's on his tail, led by the No. 20 Stephen Cameron Racing M235iR driven by Greg Liefooghe, Holden was able to elude them through the rolling hills of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the final 2 Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car sessions on Friday and Saturday.

Touring Car point leader Paul Holton of Orlando, Fla., added one more point to his margin Friday when he drove the No. 71 C360R Audi RS3 LMS sedan to the TC pole position at the famed Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, the site of the final 2017 TC rounds set for Saturday.
